Hamilton and Adrian Tchaikovsky.</strong></p><p>Nigh-Space: a continuum of parallel realities, encompassing our own universe, along with worlds far more technologically advanced and infinitely more strange. Its possible to travel from one world to another, if you have the right technology, though the farther you venture from your home world and its immediately adjacent realities, the more bizarre and dangerous things become. Most of the people (and other intelligent entities) who live on those worlds have no idea about the universes next doorbut some do, and they all have their own agendas. Some want to exploit the power differentials between levels of Nigh-Space for their own gain, and others want to protect the denizens of those worlds from being exploited. Conquest of Nigh-Space is a multiversal space opera about the clash between those opposing worldviews.</p><p>As the novel begins, a young programmer named Tamsin Culver returns from San Francisco to her Midwestern hometown to settle her grandmothers estate after the old woman is killed in a home invasion. She soon discovers her Grannys secrets: she was not native to our world, but an exile from an adjacent reality (The Old Country) with highly advanced technology, where she once ruled as an oligarch. Tamsin is heir to vast wealth on the other side, hidden away in vaults accessible only by someone from her bloodline... but the enemies who tried to exterminate her family wont be happy to see her return. Fortunately, she gets help from her ex-boyfriend Trevor, who is more than the simple dirtbag he seems, and also engages the services of a pair of infamous mercenaries from the Old Country, Bollard and Chicane, who agree to help her regain her familys power for the promise of wealth in return. Tamsin is sick of her boring life in this world; she wants to become a princess of Nigh-Space.</p><p>Meanwhile, back in the Bay Area, a grad student named Glenn discovers his girlfriend Vivy is secretly an agent of an interdimensional organization devoted to promoting freedom and protecting the denizens of Nigh-Space: the Interventionists. When she gets in trouble, Glenn is drawn to a distant level of Nigh-Space, where solar parasites poison star systems and hostile aliens seek to destroy access to other planes. He meets up with Vivys friend, a sapient starship named The Wreck of the Edmund Pevensie (Call me Eddie), and they join forces to save her. Glenn and Vivy naturally have to work out some relationship issues, like her lying to him about a) her real job and b) the entire nature of reality. Its not easy being in love with a champion of Nigh- Space, but its never dull.</p>...(*_*)9781915202819_<p><em><strong>From Hugo Award winning author Tim Pratt comes a new, high-concept space opera, exploring technology, family and the price we pay to follow our destiny, perfect for fans of Peter F. Hamilton and Adrian Tchaikovsky.</strong></em></p><p>After her grandmother is murdered in a home invasion, Tamsin Culver leaves her cushy programming job in San Francisco and returns to her Midwestern hometown to settle the estate. What she doesnt expect is to find out her grandmothers life-changing secret: Shes not an Earth native, but an exile from another level of the Nigh-Space continuum, an adjacent reality with technology far more advanced than ours. Whats more, her grandmother ruled there as an oligarch, meaning Tamsin is the heir to vast wealth only accessible by someone from her bloodline... but the enemies who tried to exterminate her family wont be happy to see her return.</p><p>Back in the Bay Area, grad student Glenn makes a startling discovery about his girlfriend Vivy. Shes a secret agent for the Interventionists: an interdimensional organisation devoted to protecting the inhabitants of Nigh-Space from those trying to take advantage of less-developed worlds. When she lands in trouble, Glenn finds himself on a sapient starship in a distant level of the continuum, racing to save her. But when Glenn and Vivys plans clash with Tamsins, and secret connections among them all are revealed, their situation becomes catastrophically complicated.</p><p>Its a princess of Nigh-Space versus a champion of Nigh-Space in a reality-spanning adventure that ranges from alien planets to mysterious space stations to Bay Area bars, with starship battles, cyborg augmentation, abductions, snark, betrayal, and fallout both nuclear and emotional.</p>...(*_*)9781915202819_<p><em><strong>From Hugo Award winning author Tim Pratt comes a new, high-concept space opera, exploring technology, family and the price we pay to follow our destiny, perfect for fans of Peter F.
